A hauntingly beautiful and melancholic album of hushed lugubrious vocalisations, pulsating drum machine, reverberating guitar and minimalist synthetic structures. But, from the dark appears light and strength, moments of joy, colour and hope, in a period of uncertainty, anxiety and turmoil none of us could have possibly contemplated. This is a wondrous journey through the mind of Northern German musician Anna Nin, who began working as GLARING in October 2018, having been previously known as None in 2017. Musically, think early 4AD [ specifically Dead Can Dance's debut album ] meets Tropic of Cancer, Boards of Canada and the dreampop veneration of the Cocteau Twins.
